2013 Dodge Dart

Ok so sort of mixed feelings. When i first heard Dodge was going to come out with a new Dart i was very excited, my brother had an old sublime green dart and that thing was a beast. Pictures or teaser shots were posted months ago and i was not feeling the design and then a full shot which i thought looked very much like a honda civic. Well the wait is over as it was showed off an the auto show to the public yesterday and i will see i am unsure. The design is sort of mixed between looking like an import but the rear and front grill is distinctly Dodge. What is a disappointment is the output of the engines yes they are in a compact size car market and if the mpg are actually achieved from what it is posted well it's no doubt fairly impressive.
3 different engines will be available all 4 cylinders btw
Now Cadillac has also released a similar size vehicle with similar sized engines just they have a fair amount more hp. The one thing i will say i do like about this new Dart is some of the technology mainly inside, the ability to change your cluster to suite you, colors, graphics, etc sounds interesting
Now this car is to replace the caliber and while i can see why they are thinking the Dart name will perhaps sell more i really think they should have kept the caliber name, named it a neon or just use an entirely new name
While not all Darts back in the day (before my time) were not all the muscle cars (different options) i still find this way too far off to be called a Dart.
Conclusion: time will tell but i don't see myself trading in my hemi anytime soon for this, lol

Zelda: Skyward Sword

Ok so i must first start by saying that the only reason i had purchased a Wii was i knew Zelda would eventually be released and it has :)

I will say that the despite all the great games from PS3 (sorry Xbox folk i am no Microsoft fan) my all time fav game has been Zelda Ocarina of Time, there is just something about that game, the storyline, time travel and the characters it was so memorable and i probably finished it several times. So with that said i was unsure if anything can exceed that well after completing Skyward Sword i must say that this would be my new favorite( OOT still comes as a close second now). Lets face it the Wii or any of the previous Nintendo systems have never been power houses like Playstation or Xbox for graphics capability however it brings me to say this despite it's hardware limitations Nintendo has always managed to make some beautiful games because of it's art direction. Now i know some fans complained about the "cartoon" look of Windwalker" and the darkness of Twilight Princess but Skyward Sword is sort of a mix of both. BTW those harsh critics about what i just said need to get a life and get out of their parents basement, sheesh it's not always about hyper realism.
SS is such a beautiful game and it is true that the wii remote and Nunchuk works well and is the way to go for sure. I think also what makes it really enjoyable is the characters and story, Zelda and Link are child hood friends oh and side quests are plenty. Sure perhaps you may finish the game in a day or two but the thing of Zelda is especially with me to fully enjoy it you must do all the sidequest and really explore and take your time. Sure upgrades to items, weapons, etc make it easier but for me it's more about the exploring.
Enemies and bosses are not impossible but i think because of using motion controls and perhaps maybe the enemies and bosses are tougher then previous Zelda games.
Ok small spoiler this is actually the very first Zelda game in the all so complicated timeline.
10/10 from me
Well i will just say i cannot wait for the next Zelda game whenever that may be.
Now i just wish i would have pre-ordered the edition with the Gold Wii remote :(

Uncharted 3

So no doubt Naughty Dog really are a superb game studio so with the high expectations of the 2 previous titles would this 3rd one match up? Well i would say yes, this journey does seem shorter this time around and i am an exploring type so which it was more open world then linear but hey Tomb Raider is coming out later this year or early next :)
Graphics are superb as usual as is the sound and storyline and i really liked the idea of going back to Nathan's younger years when he first started on his path so to say.  9.5 is the score i give this one

Now who knows what the next title will bring

Assasin's Creed Revelations

Ok so this has been out earlier this month and yes i went to the midnight launch and picked up my pre-order of the Signature Edition. I normally thus far have always purchased the version with all the goodies but this time around i opted not too and was i ever glad. Reason i say so was upon opening the package inside where the game disc is there is always a few pieces of paper with various things and a code for extra content well this time around there was a paper which was in French (good thing i speak it) and it stated that the code was on the English paper. Well it would seem that i along with a bunch of other people have not received that paper, ok fine EB Games gave me a code but problem was it never worked :( So called them and they gave a second code and again no luck, posted to Ubisoft and they basically said to contact who i purchased from. So 1 more time i received a code and finally it seemed to have worked,. First bad experience with Ubisoft i will say. Onto the game well i will not go into to much detail but will rate it a 8.9 previously AC was for sure a 9 or higher for me. Reason for my rating is the storyline i felt was lacking as opposed to AC 1 and 2 and it even felt like it was written by a different person. Other then that it was great, graphics, sound, gameplay were awesome and neat element of crafting bombs but you are an Assasin are you not suppose to be sneaky, lol
